The second alleged victim was one of Knutson’s students in eighth grade. She also played football while Knutson was the coach. The 13-year-old described how she had just moved to Omaha and that Knutson gave her attention she said she craved.

After four months of encounters with Knutson, she finally reported the incident. Nathan Hale school officials then transferred her to another school within the OPS district.

The girl told the jury she weighed 250 pounds and said she found comfort in Knutson’s support. She said she liked the attention.

She described several instances of Knutson's alleged inappropriate conduct, saying he exposed himself to her in a school hallway and coaxed her into taking a topless photo of herself so he could see it. She said he started deleting her grades on his computer until she exposed her breasts to him in a classroom after school.

Defense Attorney Tom Riley said about a month before the girl reported the incident, she was in trouble for making sexually inappropriate comments to three teachers, including Knutson. He said the comment involved exposing herself for a better grade.

The girl denied Riley’s allegations.

Two more of Knutson’s alleged victims will testify in the days to come along with Knutson.
